image rotation


Recommended Posts

hi, i am completely new to pte av and also forums but here goes in the hope of a solution. my question is this...... how do i rotate an image that is not in the centre of the screen to 90 degrees so that it is not visible. if the image is in the centre of the screen i dont have a problem, i can rotate it to 90 degrees an it dissapears without any problem. however when i move the image from the centre it begins to appear again. very frustrating, someone please help.

thanks for answering Jean-Cyprien but it is not the answer im afraid. what i want to do is rotatate an image that has been panned so it is no longer in the centre of the screen, as it goes over 90 degrees i want another image to appear as if on the reverse side as if you are rotating a double sided postcard. it is very easy to do if images are in the centre of the screen but not when off centre.

It sounds like you need to move the Centre point to be in the Centre of the Image you want to rotate.

If you hold down the Shift Key & move your mouse over the Centre Point it will change from an arrow to a Finger.
Keeping Shift held down drag the centre Point to the position on the image that you wish it to rotate around.

This should then do what you want.

thanks for your answer Jill but that does not work either. what i am trying to do is have what looks like a postcard rotate through 180 degrees to show the first side and then the second side. This takes place at a reduced zoom of 60% in the corner of the screen. i cannot get the first image to dissapear at the exact time the second image appears

If your second side is a child of the first side then what you are try to achieve should be automatic. Are you using the "parent and child" relationship? Perhaps you could attach a simple one slide example?

Thanks everyone with my rotation problem. Jienense's solution was just what i was trying to achieve. I did come up with another solution myself which involved using a frame with the two images as children which worked well but which was a tiny bit more involved than Jiense's method and took me all night to come up with. This is all new to me and was supposed to be my relaxing retirement thing, I lost a whole nights sleep trying to find the solution to my problem :unsure: hopefully i will get some sleep tonight. thanks again everyone that chipped in. Sorry i didnt respond earlier but was limited to 4 posts in a single day.
